FILM SYNOPSIS: A miniature space group comes to Earth (their spaceship is a mechanical man they control like a robot) seeking the answer to their planets environmental woes. (They certainly came to the right place. Though wise, they are not accustomed to our ways and attempt to go unnoticed by earthlings while searching for solutions.

PREVIEW REVIEW: The trailer didnt do much for me and considering Eddies last comedy debacle, Norbit, I wasnt expecting much. That is my suggestion. Dont expect much. If you dont, youll be somewhat relieved, surprised and amused. Eddies timing, even as a mechanical man, is precise and his innate talent for humorous takes on ordinary life remains magical. Hes a funny man. I laughed several times, out loud.

I suspect many fans of the Saturday Night Live player and star of 48 Hours and the Beverly Hills Cop franchise, may wish that he do something with a bit more bite, but I was impressed that, with only a few exceptions, it was a clean film (read the content), the makers attempting to amuse the entire family. Indeed, Mr. Murphys list of films of recent years seem geared to please all the family.
